Developments in the Analysis of Extensions of Time

Abstract

Construction projects frequently suffer from delays and are completed later than agreed on by the contracting parties. Substantial financial claims can arise from these circumstances and consequently, employer and contractor often argue about the causes of and liability for the delayed circumstances. Methods of analysis have been developed over the past 2 decades to assist the investigation of project delays and in the assessment of causation and allocation of liability. This paper examines some of the methods being used and assesses their evidential value.
